Would you let a transgender girl to use a public school girl bathroom?

It is in elementary school.

Lawyers for a transgender girl and an elementary school that required the fifth-grader to use a staff bathroom instead of the girls restroom clashed before Maine's highest court Wednesday over whether her rights were violated, a case that lays bare the difficult decisions facing school administrators...

She was born with some of both parts and the doctors made her a girl. This is, or was, generally how it worked since it's a lot easier to make a hole vs. a penis. The problem is some of these kids completely identify as male and are pretty pissed that a doctor made a decision to give them a vagina as an infant - when maybe it wasn't medically necessary. Also a lot of the time when you cut away the sexual organs to make a vagina, the person can never have an orgasm.

As far as the split hot-dog, I saw that on some documentary. I don't know the details of what the girl from HS had when she was born.

1. Is HHS’ application of Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act to discrimination based on gender identity and sex stereotyping a new policy?

No. HHS clarified that Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sex stereotyping.

Section 1557’s nondiscrimination requirement applies to any health program or activity, any part of which is receiving federal financial assistance, or under any program or activity that is administered by an Executive Agency or any entity established under Title I of the Affordable Care Act or its amendments. OCR has enforcement authority with respect to health programs and activities that receive Federal financial assistance from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or are administered by HHS or any entity established under Title I of the Affordable Care Act or its amendments.

2. What is the statutory basis for this clarification?

Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act provides for federal nondiscrimination protection in the health care system, including on the basis of “sex.” HHS clarified that this prohibition includes discrimination based on gender identity and sex stereotyping. HHS intends to propose rules on section 1557 in the future, offering an opportunity for comment and input into this interpretation and others.

3. What is the significance of “stereotypical notions of masculinity and femininity,” in HHS’s interpretation of Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act?

HHS has clarified that if people claim that they are not getting health care because of how they look, for example, they can file a complaint. There will be no section 1557 regulation on the definition of what is masculine or feminine.

4. Does this mean that transition related surgery is required to be covered by health insurers?

According to the those statistics kids are being kicked out because they are gay, not gay because they are being kicked out.

To correct myself, I should have said that kids are ending up on the street rather than "being kicked out." I understand that kids also run away and end up homeless when they are made to feel unwelcome by their families.
